This is not possible to attain if kids go to school for the amount of time they currently do. Teachers, paras, custodians, IT people etc have no choice in this unless kids have less time in the classroom as well.

Hire more teachers.

Next question

Your answer is so incredibly stupid it’s hilarious. Where you gonna get the magic money from? You obviously never have worked in education…some teachers are making 35k a year in America you think they wanna add more teachers? Youre fighting against a government that doesn’t help our public education system enough at all. Get your fact straight.

Your answer isn’t constructive, and your “next question” line is unnecessarily glib.

Finding good teachers is hard enough as It is.

  I work in education, my district is very well funded and had over 1,400 applicants with a smidge over 800 being considered qualified and quality. We only had 82 spots to fill.
  
  There are plenty of good teachers, shortages are due to pay and treatment.

    Your last sentence supports my point though. I’m not suggesting that there’s a shortage of good teachers, just stating the fact that it’s difficult to find and retain good teachers.
    
    I come from a family full of teachers and educators and even a superintendent. I’ve witnessed firsthand how public education can chew up and spit out even the most dedicated teachers.
